4 <strong>Mock</strong> Family Historian Volume Xlll No. 1 . Winter 2004<br />
E-mail recently sent to Phillip Symonds<br />
Hello Phillip Symonds - Regarding your query that<br />
appeared tn <strong>Mock</strong> Famtly Historian in Fall 1998 (Vol. VII<br />
#a pg.S$ "Looking for the parents of Aquilla f. <strong>Mock</strong>,<br />
born 5 ]an. 1830 in Clemmons, NC. He married Charlotte<br />
Cowen."<br />
I hope you have already located the information" but<br />
if not, here is what I found:<br />
1850 Census for NC, Davidson Co. page29l:<br />
MOCK, Peter age 46<br />
" Phebe James (Jones?) age49<br />
' Elizabeth J. age26<br />
" Jacob D. age23<br />
" Aquilla age2l<br />
" Andrew L. age 14<br />
" Juliann agel?<br />
" James age 7<br />
According to Barbara DittiTs Working Chart 19 A,<br />
found online at " <strong>Mock</strong> Family Historian", the above Peter is<br />
the oldest son ofJacob <strong>Mock</strong> (#1.3.2 on drart) andJulianna<br />
Tise. jacob is the second child of Philip <strong>Mock</strong> and Anna<br />
Marie Clinard.<br />
Aquilla is a very unique name among the <strong>Mock</strong>s. But<br />
just this week I found an1870 Census Record in Ruddels<br />
Twp, <strong>In</strong>dependence Co.AI{, page 131.<br />
MOCK, Aquilla - male age 77 - farmer born in NC<br />
" Lylla? or Lyda age 73 female born in TN<br />
" Charloue age 40 born TN<br />
" Young M. age 3l male born TN<br />
" Ann age28 bornTN<br />
I have viewed the actual photo of the census page<br />
online and the above information is what I deciphered,<br />
but "77" could,be"7t", etc.<br />
Peter <strong>Mock</strong> above had other relatives that moved to<br />
Arkansas. I am very curious who the Aquilla <strong>Mock</strong> in Arkansas<br />
is. Also, is it possible that the Charlotte noted is the<br />
wife of the younger Aquilla <strong>Mock</strong> that you descend from?<br />
I hope this email reaches you. i am also submitting<br />
this to the <strong>Mock</strong> Family Historian<br />
Yours truly, Steve Lapp inTexas<br />
Hello Barbara<br />
My message to P Symonds came back as undeliverable<br />
- I am not surprised, since it was a pretty old email<br />
address.<br />
Anyway, I just did some more searching in the 1860<br />
Census for <strong>In</strong>dependence Co. AR, where I found<br />
"A.W.Mack age 67 b. NC. This is Aquilla Mack. The 1"870<br />
Census taker had poor penmanship.<br />
Then I remembered the Scottish Mack family from<br />
VA to NC to TN, and found my folder for them. There is<br />
an obituary forA.W.Mack that includes:<br />
German Macks vs. Scottish Macks<br />
Resemchby SteaeLapp<br />
"Deceased u)as born in Rockingham Co. NC, 8 lan 1.793;<br />
mooed to Maury Co.TN in 1810; from there to Wayne Co in<br />
1832, and from there to <strong>In</strong>dependence C-o AR in 1854......"<br />
He died near Batesville AR on May 7,1876.<br />
He was the son of fames and Sarah Wilson Mack.<br />
Sarah's father was Aquilla Wilson - thus "Aquilla Wilson<br />
Mack".<br />
This is an extensive Mack familv that settled in<br />
America early . We have written very little, if any, about<br />
them in the MFH because they are of Scottish origin - and<br />
pretty consistantly "Mack" instead of <strong>Mock</strong>.<br />
However, I do keep running into them fairly often -<br />
and mistake them for German <strong>Mock</strong>s.<br />
As far as Aquilla <strong>Mock</strong>, the son of Peteq, discussed in<br />
my last message - I guess it is just coincidence that he was<br />
also named Aquilla - assuming that Peter truly is a son of<br />
Jacob, as it is written in your working chart (I have no<br />
evidence to the contrary<br />
I am in a quicksand of MOCKS in the deep South,<br />
and sinking fast.<br />
For instance - these Scottish Macks above include a<br />
"Littleberry Mack". A son of Aquilla Mack's brother<br />
Lemuel Dabney Mack. I wonder how often he has been<br />
confused with the "Littleberry <strong>Mock</strong> in Chart #13C who<br />
was b. 17805C.<br />
